A magnificent\u00a014,636-square-foot lakefront retreat<\/a>\u00a0in Petoskey, MI<\/a>,\u00a0has cannonballed onto the market for $18 million, making it the state\u2019s most expensive listing.<\/p>\n

The sellers, who built the home on the banks of Walloon Lake in 2018, used the place as their primary residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t build the house thinking they were going to ever sell it,\u201d explains listing agent Brad Rellinger<\/strong>, with Harbor Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cThey put a lot of extra care into the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Post-and-beam build<\/h2>\n

Reclaimed Douglas fir beams were used to construct the soaring 30-foot ceiling in the great room. Other walls were built with maple or shiplap.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the few real post-and-beam homes that were built in the area,\u201d Rellinger says. \u201cNot everybody takes the extra time and expense to create something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are six full bathrooms and four bedrooms, including a guest suite with a full kitchen and separate access.<\/p>\n

Unique elements<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s also a charming cabin that was on the property when the sellers bought the place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the original cottages on Walloon [Lake], so they just kept it,\u201d Rellinger says. \u201cThere\u2019s a fireplace in there. It\u2019s got some character.\u201d<\/p>\n

A boathouse, two boat wells, and a waterfront gazebo also are included in the sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are probably just a handful of those on the lake, because they don\u2019t let you build them over the water anymore\u2014and haven\u2019t for quite some time,\u201d Rellinger says of the boathouse. The gazebo is also grandfathered in.<\/p>\n

Amenities galore<\/h2>\n

Back at the main house, a large three-season room has a fireplace, grill, hot tub, and plenty of entertaining space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty awesome and overlooks the water,\u201d Rellinger says. \u201cYou can open up the area and have the breeze come off the lake.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the fun-filled lower level includes a bar, media room, and fitness room\u2014with a sauna and steam room and an adjoining bath.<\/p>\n

While winters can be frigid in Northern Michigan, this home has an efficient geothermal HVAC system with in-floor heat and a whole-house generator.<\/p>\n

Rellinger says even though this listing is Michigan\u2019s priciest, it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe detail, even on the roof system, is just over the top,\u201d he raves. \u201cThis is more of a hand-built house. When you walk through the door, you just kind of feel like you\u2019ve entered into something kind of special that few people have ever been inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rellinger thinks the buyer will probably use the place as a second home and will be able to enjoy it right away.<\/p>\n

It could be \u201csomeone who doesn\u2019t want to go through a three-year build process and wants a home that is really well thought-out,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
